Please, I feel a deadly pull towards it. It's a 2006 kdrama about an icy executive who melts in the presence of a single mother and her moppet of a son. Icy men melting for single mothers = my favorite trope. Starring Ahn Jae Wook, my newest, insane crush.

'So what's the problem?' ask you. 'Go ahead, Mousie, enjoy yourself!'

NOT SO FAST.

Guess who has a horrible and terminal heart condition. Guess. Ummm, no, thank you. Not only is Ahn Jae Wook not allowed to die in my dramas, but the whole 'ohhh, see him find happiness, only to die. Did we mention that the poor single mother and her son get to be devastated all over again, after finding some happiness of their own and a lover/father figure?'

Why don't I just drive nails into my eye while I am at it.

And yet.

Ahn Jae Wook.

And just look at this MV - I just know this will be perfect.

Until the end comes and I will feel like eating my own head.

The dilemma.

Side note, the genre for Mr. Goodbye is labelled as 'romance/comedy' on drama wiki. Ahahaha. Koreans clearly have a unique definition of comedy.

But once I finish A Star In My Heart, if I want my AJW fix it's either between this or Goodbye My Love (which I started and I like but the heroine dies in that one!)

For God's Sake, Ahn Jae Wook! Make a flipping comedy one of these days, can't you? A proper comedy, not dramawiki's take on it.

ETA: Ooooooh, he was the lead in I Love You, the one about a couple with 14-yr-difference who have to get hitched because of a baby. Oooooh.

I WANT TO FRELLING BOIL HIS FRELLING FATHER IN BOILING OIL. Seriously, father of the year you are. When your kid is having a nervous breakdown in your office because he's just found out (though a newspaper report) that the mother you told him for 20+ years was dead is actually alive, and he is begging you to tell where she is, yeah yeah yeah have your goons drag him out of your sight. A++++++++

AND DON'T GET ME EVEN STARTED ON YUN HEE'S BITCH OF A STEPMOM. Yeah, give her a ton of money and tell her it's from her boyfriend who is bored with her. WTF WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE. They are sweet, functional woobies with nightmare parents, they don't need more angst.

I am seriously obsessed with A Star in My Heart. It just hits all my kinks perfectly. It's light but not too light, it has angst but not ridiculously so, it has a spunky heroine, and ridiculously sexy hero, and the two are so functional together.

Oh, and that little reptilian part of my brain which considers Sensual Phrase my favorite manga is revelling in the whole rocker-star-falls-for-girl set-up. Oh great, now that I typed it out, I am fantasizing about Ahn Jae Wook as Sakuya. Heee. Mind. Out of the gutter, self. (SP is pretty X-rated). Heeee.
